your on the right track it
just depends what u want now some guys go extreme camber, some guys get some , and others enough to function for race

but idk what direction u want to go with
the set up ur getting is a goos start
i am running 19x9.5 in the rear rolled and pulled fenders tucking tire a little. but i have 215/35/19 so the streach is making the rim visable.

heres a website that will help u with
what tire set up to get
http://tyrestretch.com/

just go to a alignment shop and find out how u want ur camber and ur toe

the things is u dont want ot be a idiot and adjust them ur self.
those people are trend followers and dumbasses who cut there springs . do research and findout wat direction u want to go with and not just claim im hellaflush

Your rears will be the hardest to roll flat. If you really want the 'hella flush' fitment, you'll want to do a very slighty pull on the wheel, probably do at least -3 camber in the rear, maybe -4 (max on stock LCA's). Once you put the wheels on you'll see if you need to pull anymore. You may want to go more aggressive on offsets for your rears.

Here's my set up so you can get an idea. I did an aggressive roll and moderate pull all around, but keep in mind i'm not about that hella flush stuff.

18x8 +25 w/ 215/40's front
18x9 +25 w/ 225/40's rear







This one is moments after i pulled the rears, coilovers not adjusted yet.

You are correct with the 5mm spacer. But, you will poke out about 6mm more than me with out the spacer just based on your current offset of +30 and the 9.5 inch width.

Tire specs were at the top of my post. fronts are 215/40 and rears are 225/40

then in that case don't do much camber im -2.5 in the front and -2.6 rear.oh and yes hellaflush does consist of wide wheels and tire stretch . aggressive /extreme still is hellaflush.
point is look into fitment and how much stretch and tire u want
